Earlier this week, we reported on a disturbing viral video that depicts an angry mob forcing a woman out of a store in New York City because she was not wearing a mask. As the video made the rounds online, actress-turned-radical leftwing actress Alyssa Milano suggested she was proud of the mob for what they did—it didn’t take long for this to come back to bite her.
Milano tweeted out the video along with the caption, “Never been prouder of growing up in Staten Island.”

The video had been captured in Staten Island, and Milano’s comment on it indicates that it makes her feel pride in where she comes from, seemingly praising the agitators’ hostile behavior. Unfortunately for Milano, however, this quickly blew up in her face when social media users made it clear that it was the unmasked woman who was in the right here, and that the mob went too far. Here are some examples of the backlash Milano has received since this video was posted:
- “You’re the most Un-American person I have ever encountered Alyssa. Your failures in life are well deserved.”
- “You’re proud of this behavior???”
- “I started loving you decades ago, but it has been harder & harder to support you as the years go by. I ABSOLUTELY agree with wearing masks, but the fact that you condone & support this type of behavior is horrible. Instead of growing up you seem to be more childish all the time.”
- “The people yelling with masks are likely spreading more virus than a silent maskless person.”
- “Oh…you like bullies??”
- “Reread ‘1984,’ or probably for the first time.”
- “Yes, let’s encourage people to become angry mobs. OR, someone could have gone over to an employee and asked they speak to the customer without the mask. OR, if the store doesn’t have a policy of requiring masks, the screaming lunatics should shop somewhere else. But, you do you.”
- “Proud?!? Treating people like that is disgusting.”
- “Yeah because Mob Rule is the best!”
Ouch, that has got to hurt! Another day, another time that Milano has made an absolute fool of herself.
